A new kind of tourism is emerging in China. It attracts people not with centuries-old history or magnificent nature, but with bold fantasies about the future.

Science fiction allows tourism to no longer be limited by physical distance. For example, when tourists arrive at the "Mars Camp" in Lenghu (Qinghai Province), psychologically they arrive not in the Tsaidam Basin, but on the Red Planet—Mars.

The rise of science fiction tourism is closely linked to the preferences of the younger generation. They have their own favorite science fiction stories and enjoy sharing unique experiences on social media.

Recognizing this trend, Beijing's Shougang Park launched the "Science Fiction Exploration" project, and Universal Studios Beijing opened a "Future Waterworld" zone. These projects have already gained popularity among young people.

Baku, October 17, /Xinhua/ — The signing of a protocol on the export of Azerbaijani hazelnuts and almonds to China was an important outcome of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's visit to China. Akber Aliyev, head of a department at the Azerbaijan Food Safety Agency (AQTA), told Xinhua following the Azerbaijani delegation's working visit to China.

"This year, the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, visited the People's Republic of China. This visit gave a significant boost to bilateral relations," noted Akber Aliyev. He emphasized that it was through the development of these contacts that the nut export project was implemented, opening up access to one of the world's largest markets for Azerbaijani producers. "The purpose of our agency's delegation's visit was to sign a protocol on the export of Azerbaijani hazelnuts and almonds to China. We have worked closely with our Chinese colleagues and will continue to work to expand the export of other products, such as chicken products, apples, and berries," he said.

According to Akber Aliyev, the signing of the protocol creates a solid foundation for further increasing agricultural supplies and strengthening economic cooperation between Azerbaijan and China.

An AQTA delegation recently visited China, during which they signed a “Protocol on Inspection, Quarantine, and Sanitary Requirements for Hazelnuts and Almonds Exported from Azerbaijan to China” and a “Draft Document on a Cooperation Mechanism for Food Safety in Import and Export” with the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China.

BEIJING, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) — Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang on Friday warned the United States against its dangerous attempts to play the "Taiwan card" and arm the Chinese region of Taiwan, warning that such moves would come at a high cost to the United States.

Zhang Xiaogang made the statement in response to a media question about the new version of the National Defense Authorization Act passed by the US Congress. The updated law includes provisions allocating $1 billion in funds for the so-called "Taiwan Security Cooperation Initiative."

The official representative stated that the negative provisions of the law concerning China constitute gross interference in its internal affairs, harm the sovereignty, security and development interests of the PRC, and undermine peace and stability throughout the world.

Zhang Xiaogang called on the United States to firmly abide by the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-American joint communiqués, to effectively implement its pledge not to support "Taiwan independence" and to refrain from sending wrong signals to separatists advocating "Taiwan independence," as well as from establishing any form of military ties with the Chinese region of Taiwan. –0–
